Holy f-... I've watched this scene so many times and yed I hadn't noticed that. Then again... It may be one of these things that, even if you conciously notice, you still notice it inderectly.
In the third film, she makes statements like "we've had a good run" and things like "we've last longer than I thought we would". I think it stems back to here. Who didn't show up? There are indications in this movie that she struggles to maintain and closes the book on her relationships that she has historically held at a distance. Even in _Before Sunrise_ she talks about guys that she "thought were going to last longer" in regards to a relationship. Not knocking her specifically, but consistency and evolution of a character, especially across 18 years, has to have some invisible threads of consistent personality. :) So subtle yet unbelievably organic and intricate. For being the more cynical in the first film, I definitely believe Jesse is the more romantic of the two throughout the trilogy.
I'm a big fan of viewing this couple through the MBTI personality type lens, and a lot of people think Celine is INFP, like I am. I think we tend to have more abandonment issues and a nagging doubt that we can't actually trust or rely on anyone other than ourselves... Infps are incredibly idealistic and we rarely meet anyone who can live up to those ideals, but that's actually something ENFJs (like Jesse) experience a lot too. They internalize it less and that actually enables them to help others be better versions of themselves.
Also notice she says "I was about to fly to Vienna, and then we heard the news about her..." In the first movie she mentions being terrified of flying, she says "I'm afraid of death 24 hours a day... that's why I'm in a train right now. I could have flown to Paris, but I'm too scared." So here, 9 years later, she wants Jesse to believe that 6 months after avowing this crippling fear of flying, she was "about" to fly from Paris to Vienna when a train was still an option? I think this is Linklater winking at us that Celine (as a commenter below says, the "closet cynic") never actually made a concrete plan, and that her grandmother dying may have even gave her a sense of relief. A lot of guilt followed for sure, but I don't think it's 100% that Celine would've showed, even if her grandmother hadn't passed that week. But I guess it's the closet romantic in me that still wants to believe she would've
@@RYLANDER that is a very good catch I hadnt actually thought of before, amazing that a movie trilogy that began close to 3 decades ago can still have new information and little twists
Julie's English is excellent, and her Chemistry with Ethan Hawke is outstanding, seamless and entirely natural. They just flow so beautifully and perfectly together, amazingly so. The perfect couple in so many ways. And kudos to each for writing such a great movie featuring dialogue that's wholly original, sharp, innovative, hip, and steeped in much heartwarming reflection, while being intimately familiar on so many levels (the type that most of us can relate to from time to time). For there truly is a genuine and heartfelt poignancy to this movie, one that is sweetly endearing, and wonderfully stirring, at a deeper, more soulful level. Maybe a 4th in the series should be in the works.
She really did live in New York. On and off for years, I believe. Starting in 1990, though she moved to L.A. a few years after that. I know she came back, because I used to know a woman who was living with a friend of mine in Manhattan. She became Delpy's personal assistant or something. So she had plenty of chances to practice her English. It's quite impossible to imagine anyone else playing Céline. But we should remember, Linklater shaped both roles to the actors playing them, a process that went on over the next two films. Part of why it feels so organic and unforced is, they're playing alternate universe incarnations of themselves.
These films had absolutely nothing to hide behind, for the most part it's just two people strolling around and talking. One of the best films I've ever seen.
I saw this trilogy live in the theater each individual movie in its first-run release. The downside was having to wait 9 years to see the next part, but the upside was also being 9 years older, I got to get older with the characters.
Tbh I started with this one and yet watching Before Sunrise was an amazing experience precisely because I knew where it was going. Gonna watch part 3 right now!
This movie reminds me such much of the time I was an Erasmus student in Budapest. I dated this Hungarian girl and we talked about the differences of our cultures while walking the streets of Budapest. Such great and nostalgic memories of that time. Seems ages ago. Oh wait, it was ages ago :-p
I met a Hungarian girl for a day in Budapest in 1990, became penpals, saw her for a few more days in 1997, and after being blown away by this very movie when I went by chance to the cinema (back in Australia) in 2004, saw her again that year, and married her in 2006. Still happily married
Man this guy is such a good actor and she's fantastic as well of course. Look about after 0:26 when he says it would have sucked if one of showed up and the other didn't. His small facial moves are completely convincing that in his head he's saying "and IT DID SUCK cause I was there, and Im not sure if I should tell you."
I've watched a minute and instantly knew I have to rewatch the movies. There's something about them, especially in times of datings apps,that's missing nowadays..
Since i'm aware of the fact my life definitely would not be able to be this romantic, i'm frequently miserable. These three movies are best movies for me meanwhile they are the biggest curses on me.
Why not though? What in this movie is so special and extraordinary? The whole ordeal began because a dude started a conversation with a girl on a train and then they got off. I met my girlfriend 1 day before she was about to go to Austria. We fell in love and I spontaniously went back with her. Such stuff happens, just talk to people :)
I totally think Celine was lying about her grandmother dying on the exact same day they were supposed to meet. I think she made up that lie because she actually was afraid to go to Vienna in case Jesse decided not to show up. She was the one who hyper idealized that night and put it into this giant bubble, not wanting to allow anything or anyone to ruin her romantic conceptions. I think "grandma" was alive and kickin for a good long while after that December 16th. You can tell by her eyes, because Julie Delpy is a masterclass of an actress, that Celine is protecting herself from admitting to Jesse her insecurities about WHY she wasn't there in Vienna. One of my favorite scenes in this film, because everything feels so truly organic. Ethan and Julie are two incredible actors and writers, for sure.
The fact that he remembers her grandmother in Budapest after all those years. I have been on dates with girls and I do not remember a thing about them. But the girls I really did care about I can remember the small things about so clearly after all these years.
I'm not English. I watched this series very late. The first part ending was overwhelming and I hoped the director should better get them meet each other in the next part. I immediately watched the second part, and it really made me feel painful while watching this scene. Young and charming in the first one and old and tired in the next one. Big differences and real. It ached me! The wrinkles and dullness on their faces, their yearning magical eyes, her beautiful English, his passionate love on her had me into tears. Making this movie series with exactly 9years gap between, made sense and real. God I love them both! ❤️
How many years after Vienna is this. It's actually really sad knowing they could have each gotten other partners by now and maybe have a family and not end up together. And ya not exchanging contact info was stupid, if each of them really fell in love with eachother/liked eachother.
After that night in Vienna they destroyed each other love life, wasted years being apart from each other.. Wow love love love these two movies, still haven’t seen the last one. The filmmaking is very simple but very realistic doing most of the time long shot. Special movie in all
Also adding that her grandma expressed hidden feelings about "the love that got away" to her remember?. So i feel she would of wanted her to go vienna. Otherwise she made the same mistake as her grandma.
@@RED01SEA right? I mean it's a great movie. It portrays a realistic relationship after 9 years, kids, etc. They're not the perfect couple we knew and their love is not idealized and dreamy like before sunset/sunrise. I can't watch it either it makes my stomach hurt :( I hope that they make a part 4 in 2022 where they work out their issues and fall in love all over again. Having them rekindle their relationship would make before midnight more powerful and also easier to digest.
for some people it's just how they deal with an uncomfortable situation. A good example is Logan Paul laughing and giggling in that infamous video where he filmed a corpse. He said afterwards that that's just how he copes with uncomfortable situations and I know people who are that way as well.
do they ever draw a breath whats the chances of meeting a American babe like her and all your speech is so perfect and you listen to each other in reality I think not
I used to think that this movie was a great love story. Now, 16 years after its release and me being 16 years older, I realize that this movie is about a woman's mental illness.
His hard blink when he admits he was there...the subtle communication is so great
Heartbreaking
So much acting in a blink amazing
Agreed. The amount of extremely relevant and poignant subtleties pleasantly permeate the entire trilogy. Absolutely brilliant writing and acting.
The blink wasn't in the script. Great acting choice by Ethan
The face of her when she discovers the truth is just priceless
yeah its such intuitive dialogue ( looking at from a different angle) 100% rotton tomatoes - for a reason
The motions of her eyebrows!
“My life’s been a big nosedive since then” *touches his wedding ring*. Great subtleties like this make the movie so real
I think a lot of people feel this way
He did the same thing again at the ending scene when he says he knows he'll miss his plane.
Holy f-... I've watched this scene so many times and yed I hadn't noticed that. Then again... It may be one of these things that, even if you conciously notice, you still notice it inderectly.

Just be honest and say you were there.
Why do you have to deflect the question and answer with a question or lie that you didn’t go
When Jesse grabs his ring when talking about his life has been a big nose dive since, did you catch him touching his wedding ring ?
some patience, i woulda been fckin fuming if she laughed at me for showing up when she didn't
